ok so im about to be a senior in highschool and pretty much decided to go into male nursing after highschool. i have a crapload of questions...Keep in mind i dont expect u to answer all these questions. The point of this post was to show how much direction i am lacking. Which is the correct way to go? These are SOME of the questions i have been thinking about: Do i need college to go into nursing? Can i just go into a nursing school right after highschool? Whats the difference of a nursing program in a community college vs a college like Rutgers vs a program in a hospital. Difference of a LPN and RN?
